on burnout, succession plans, and starting projects 

Speaking as someone who is extremely unreliable for any consistent task like running a community: If you're going to start something other people use, have both a permanent succession plan, and backups for your roles.

You may wake up one day and decide you don't want to do (or can't) this any more but people rely on your service.

You may run out of spoons for weeks but still have duties to perform, and forcing yourself to do them because there's no backup may bring you back the not wanting to do it any more.

You may end up incapacitated suddenly somehow and need to enact either plan, or both.

But more importantly, having those in place means if you're worried about burning out and giving up, at least what you build will continue if it happens. That alone can be a comfort.

I'm posting this more to give myself permission to start things I worry I'll stop more than anything.

tumblr trolling twitter 

Ok, I know Tumblr may still be Problematic™, but they're doing some S-tier trolling here

@heatherhorns People seem to think that social media platforms have qualities that are independent of the users that populate the platform, and I think it's a silly view.

There's still a lot of anti-black and persecutor communal-narcissist types floating around here, and some of them are instance admins.

Nope, not dealing with anyone associated with Nitecrew. You might as well tell me you endorse Monads, Elekk or Myasstodon.

Hey fellow white people

If you're going to tone-police POC for talking about their own damn lives, have the courtesy to CW your remarks. "Privileged-ass mouthing off" would be appropriate, for example.

re: Fedi Meta 

This is still relevant. Until the owners of the following named instances come out and apologize for the damage and hurt they caused and enabled, they don't deserve an inch of trust from me.

Fedi Meta 

I guess if you want my overall take as a former chud on the whole situation, the actions of Myasstodon, Elekk and Monads mirror that of the abusive patterns of behaviour that Gamergate took part in that drove women and PoC out of gaming.

To wit, the insistence that they, the abusers, are a minority while the victims speaking up are white is no different to NotYourShield being weaponized to drive a wedge in vulnerable communities. All it is is a distraction from the abuse that happened

Indigenous people, POC are entertainment. Traumaflix for most white people.

And then they have an existential crisis when they realize everything they have is built on our exploitation and annihilation and run away when it gets too real.

Then some yt person inevitably says, "Oh, hearing about this is too much for me! Please think of my feelings!" Oh, was consuming the 'content' of my life 'hard' for you? Try fucking LIVING genocide, asshole! Oh that's right, you can't. Cause you're a colonizer benefiting from my death.

Couple of months back I added a fan art channel to the Freedoom Discord and there are certainly some creative people there -
